They are here!

Thanks to God and everyone who's been praying and caring for us, the twin boys are finally here! Asher Park Bai and Kyler Park Bai born on 8/22/08. Today is actually their first month birthday! We pray for many more of their birthdays - not only to bring joy to our family but to all others. They are healthy and strong. Growing every minute. Kathy, my wife, is recovering well. And for me, many emotions that go through me as I learn what it means to be a father... Overjoyed and proud most of times, yet unsettling and impatient at other times... More on this later, hopefully. But, for now, here are some pictures. And, I'm off to sleep!

Asher and Kyler!

Yes, it's official now. Kathy's pregnant with twin boys. The due date is sometime in August, and we are now getting pretty anxious just anticipating the miracle happening. We are calm and feel as ready as we could be, but we also know that there probably are many things we just couldn't have prepared ourselves for - just because we've never done this before!

Right now, yes, we are grateful. But, we are also in some sense resisting the time to go too fast. On one hand, we are eager to see the boys, but we know it will create many changes in our lives that we might not be ready for. We know we will do our best in raising the kids, but for now, we are saying, "ah, what have we done???"

Clearly, God has given this precious gift(s). And, we are well aware of God's involvement and plans in this. May we be faithful to our responsibilities as parents. May we find the wisdom and strength to do so. And, I pray Kathy will have an easy labor - safe, healthy, and meaningful to her as mom. It makes me very proud she is doing as well as she is with this twin pregnancy so far.

By the way, Asher means "blessing" in Hebrew and Kyler means "church" in some European language (Scottish?). We picked because of the meanings as well as simply the sound of them.
